interesting things happening in NY.

perhaps PD armorers may be reduced to making their own. Now if the big boys join the embargo...........................................

other vendors to join in. (as the OP mentioned)

"Olympic Arms – the Washington-based manufacturer of AR-15 type rifles and semiautomatic pistols – announced Tuesday that because of legislation passed recently in the state of New York, the company “will no longer be doing business with the State of New York or any governmental entity or employee of such governmental entity within the State of New York.”

Olympic joins other companies that have recently cut off business to various state agencies due to the adoption of firearms regulations..."


I think it is illegal to sell to such newly banned stuff to NY LE anyway, since they forgot those exemptions in the new laws...haven't heard that's been fixed yet.

I would be more interested in a lawsuit being filed for the wait times for permits waits which are up to 18-24 months in some locations.

they carry Glock 37s, as do many local PD's and sheriff's offices. Why? Logistics You need a new magazine, you can get one from your buddy.

For long guns, it's usually Remington or Mossberg shotguns and Smith and Wesson or Bushmaster ARs.

Call me when a big company tells NY to F.O.D., not something ran out of a former Mercury dealer garage.

Has implemented a similar policy.
They will not sell anything to law enforcement that is not legal for a civillian in a given state.

Here is a partial list of companies that have stated they will not sell to anything to law enforcement that can not be sold to the private citizen:

CMMG- Maker of AR-15's, parts and accessories
York Arms- Maker of AR-15's, parts, accessories and silencers
Olympic Arms-Maker of AR-15's, parts and accessories
LaRue Tactical-Maker of AR-15's, parts and accessories
Midway USA- One of the largest online seller of everything gun related EXCEPT guns
Cheaper then Dirt- Sells guns and gun related items

Expect the list to grow, most of the major gun companies rely on sales to private citizens to remain open. It is likely that gun companies will face increasing pressure from the public to limit sales of guns and accessories to law enforcement to match what they are allowed to sell to private citizens.

The last time this happened was when S&W made an agreement with the Clinton Administration. The resulting boycott cost them 40% in sales, forced the closing of 2 manufacturing plants and resulted in the sale of S&W to a small company for $15 million dollars and assuming $30 million dollars in existing debt. The seller had bought S&W for $112 million.
